probably if you were right underneath a nuclear explosion, but even then you'd probably feel the strange sensation of being on fire for a milisecond before you were vaporized.

Well, If you be so kind as to try a few things out for us and tell us how painful it was that would be nice.

I'll try out the best suggestion and get back to you in the afterlife.

I can imagine a gunshot to the head or something similarly powerful is far too quick a death to feel any sensation (fuck-ups excluded). Carbon monoxide will just lure you into sleep from what I've heard. Pills perhaps as well, if you sleep, but you could easily wake up in a world of pain without the proper dosage.

The exit bag is completely painless. Since your body can't use helium you die but because it's odorless and a gas you don't experience any displeasure or awareness of your own demise. You suffocate due to lack of oxygen but your lungs fill with a gas that feels like oxygen so your sensory system doesn't panic while your internal organs shut down.

Yeah, sneak into a car compressor when no-ones looking, and induce a coma. If your lucky, the operator wont notice you until you've been liquified.

There are several other things you can do after inducing a coma, thats just the first one that came to mind

I think it would happen so fast that your brain wouldn't be able to process the pain fast enough.

Lethal injection can be quite painful, the Sodium thipental used in most states is inadequate for anesthesia in humans and the Pancuronium Bromide used as a muscle relaxant causes labored breathing and extreme discomfort in the chest.

Even when the bullet goes right through your brain, your still capable of feeling pain and everything for a few moments. Your last few seconds on earth are seconds of unimaginable pain. damn.

Nope. The bullet destroys the part of you that detects that pain, it happens so quickly that there can be no conscious feeling.

I think you would vaporize before the nerve signals could reach your brain.
